Title Under the Queen's Umbrella Spoiler
The Queen Dowager deserves to get a poison cup in the end. That's the only logical ending for this nasty woman.

Title Under the Queen's Umbrella
I have not enjoyed a court sageuk drama since Masquerade. This one is pretty close. I did like and enjoyed Mr. Queen but that the time travel and many comedic elements made it a less authentic historical drama. That one felt like a mashup of Go Princess Go and Scarlet Heart. I think this drama did well in taming the comedy and developing an interesting conflict in the royal court.

Title Game of True Love
heard a new rumor that drama crew contacted Peng Xiaoran to play as FL and would start at the end of november.
I'm gonna flip if it's PXR even though I was hoping for a more mellow and lighthearted romcom for their reunion. I've seen the lakorn and the FL in Game of Love is a real b*tch.

Did the real Mu Deok get possession of her body back? This bothered me from the start and I postponed watching the show until the show ended.

Title Mystic Pop-Up Bar
The bodyguard/ML love interest is a total drag on the show. She's got zero chemistry with the ML and her assertive and impertinent attitude are way overdone. What the heck was the writer thinking creating this character.

Title Light Chaser Rescue
LYX looks too fragile and lightweight-looking to pass off as a rescuer. A little bit of muscle would not hurt. Seriously Bai Jing Ting who I thought had a slight build in YAMH looks like Mr. Muscle next to Leo in this drama.

I've never warmed up to doctor-lawyer pairings in drama land or in real life for that matter.

Title My Dear Guardian
My favorite doctor/uniformed officer drama. In comparison to DOTS and YAMH this one had a lot more nuanced plot and backstory. I think the other two relied more on their leads chemistry. This one was engaging and enjoyable right to the end. I'd love to see this remade into a K-drama.

If it reminded you of the show You Are My Hero then you are not alone. A way way worse version of You Are My Hero…
I like this one better. YAMH plot was rather thin and one dimensional.

It was great until they added that ridiculous and contrived love line between Su Wu Ming and Yingtao. A forced and unnecessary plot that ruined the flow and chemistry of the drama.

Lol, it seems I’m the only who actually likes the female lead…I mean, she did start off as a bit useless/annoying…
The FL is more of a secondary character in this drama. I am liking they are not inserting unnecessary romantic moments between her and ML.

Su Wu Ming is a gem. The actor plays the cheeky and pompous sheriff/detective to the hilt. He is absolutely hilarious. The ML has the right mix of arrogance and cockiness. Thank goodness his bravado is not overdone.

I thought the same. Anything set after 1949 and before the end of the Cultural Revolution is a big no no for me. It will reek of Maoist propaganda.

Title The Longest Promise
Can Li Yi Feng's prostitution scandal (for which I hope he gets his just comeuppance) affect the airing of THIS…
What an incredibly asinine and pointless question. The answer is of course no. Any half wit would know that since this is distinct work. Obviously the poster just raised this gossip because of lingering hatred of actor in said scandal.

I've only ever seen Bai Bai He in Love Is Not Blind. A funny and endearing movie. This was the film that made her a star in China.

Title Lost Track of Time
Mango TV historicals epitomize campy and cheap production and style. I find their cinematography to be mostly an afterthought, the costumes recycled from one drama to another, the dubbing to be atrocious, etc. I think they do fine in modern dramas and I have watched many that I enjoyed. However their low production budget really shows their limit in historical dramas. Aside from The Sleepless Princess, I don't think I can name another good historical from Mango TV with a good story and equally decent production.
